AT-1625-052-050

Overview

The AT-1625-052-050 is a specialized application tooling component manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for the assembly of interconnect systems. It functions as a hand tool intended to facilitate the installation or extraction of discrete wire components, specifically supporting lower volume projects. This tool is part of the broader Samtec application tooling portfolio, which provides mechanical aids for assembling and installing interconnects. The specific model designation indicates its role in the manufacturing or prototyping workflow rather than serving as an end-use electrical connector itself.

Feature Summary

• Designed for discrete wire assembly tasks
• Supports manual installation and extraction processes
• Intended for use in lower volume production environments

Applications

• Assembly of .80 mm pitch Tiger Eye™ components
• Installation of CC396R contacts
• Installation of CC396M contacts
• Installation of CC396U contacts

Procurement Notes

Verify that the procurement requirement aligns with assembly tooling rather than passive electronic components. Confirm compatibility with the specific contact reels (CC396 series) and housing types listed in the manufacturer's tooling documentation. Ensure the ordering specification matches the exact tooling part number to avoid confusion with mating connectors or cable assemblies.

Selection Notes

Select this item only when manual assembly equipment is required for low-volume runs involving .80 mm pitch terminals. Evaluate whether bench-top applicators are necessary for higher volumes before choosing this hand tool option. Ensure the tool is compatible with the specific insulation diameter ranges specified for the target contact materials.

Part Context

This part belongs to Samtec’s Application Tooling category, distinct from their standard connector lines like SSW or SEARAY. It serves as a mechanical aid within the ecosystem of flexible stacking solutions and high-density interconnects, enabling precise handling of small-form-factor contacts during the manufacturing process.

Replacement Considerations

No public substitute part numbers are documented for this specific application tooling model. Alternative tools must be sourced based on mechanical compatibility with the specific contact geometry and pitch requirements.
